NHL video games are a lot of fun for me but sometimes they give me frustration which I do not like.

There are some thing EA could change to there NHL games to make them better. One, they have to change the computer penalties. If you do not know what that is, it is that the computer takes the penalty not you so it is kind of unfair especially on hockey HUT team. A HUT team is one that you make yourself and play against people online. So the computer penalties got to go.

Another one is there is way too much fighting and not the I don't like fighting in games but there is just way too much of it in this game. There is fighting like all the time. If you hit someone, you fight! I know that in the real NHL they fight a lot but not like every minute. EA has to stop with that.

EA also has to make that if you have a NHL or even a lower league on HUT, they never catch a pass even if you play with NHL players. Sometime I go to OHL games and high school hockey games and they catch the puck. Even my pee wee team catches passes! Don't know what they are doing there!

That is really all for these "make better tips" for NHL 15. I really hope they change some of these. I am really starting to hate some of these problems a lot. My team in HUT is going like 6-10 because of these things! I really hope they change these in an update or in NHL 15.

Sunday I played a hockey game for my team, Mission. We won 6-4 which is our first win in 5 games and I scored 3 goals and I was really proud that I got a hat trick. That was my first hat trick in a while. One of the goals was a rebound and before I scored the refs had there hand up witch means penalty and it was on the other team and the other ref thought it was on our team so when I shot the puck they blew the whistle and then they reviewed the play and said it was good and a goal.

I was also happy because we won the game. It was 6-4 and a close game.

I am on a new hockey team Mission and we played our first game at JCC today. I like the team. They are fun. I got a new stick the day before. It is a CCM RBZ.

My new coach said he lets his defensemen rush the net and shoot at the goal which is cool because my other teams all kept us defensemen back and we cannot get shots on net. We lost the game 6-4 but I scored the first goal "bar down" which is a cool way to score and hard because you have to shoot hard and hit the top bar and then the pucks ricochets down into the goal. It was funny because on the way down it hit off the goalie's helmet. Then later I got another goal and it was "bar down" too. I was pretty happy. I got an assist too. I posted a copy of the box score which has my name next to the goals and assists.

I am liking my new team and will probably stay with them until my old one Alkali Arsenal starts up again for the tournaments next year. I saw the schedule and the National Championship is in Fort Meyers, Florida so it will be cool to play there if I make the team again.

You know me, I play roller hockey and as I said in my other post one of the teams I am on is a tournament team which is Alkali Arsenal and they are a 10 year old team. Last weekend, we played in the State Wars Midwest tournament. Most of our regular players missed it because they had an ice hockey tournament but we got some other players and I made some new roller hockey friends.

Well let's get on with this. My dad said this was kind of long but I said I wanted to tell the whole story so here it is. Our first game was at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning against the Mission Border Cats from Rochester. I played well and guarded my zone and nobody got by. I did have one rush but I got knocked and pinned into the boards so I didn't score. We won that game 8-0. The mercy rule for State Wars is 8 goals. We are used to 10 goals in our league. We played the Detroit Mission Stars in the second game. They are good and they win tournaments and this was their home rink. They had a lot of fans there. We won the second game 11-3 and it was stopped on mercy rule. Their coach was not happy. I did not have any rushes in this game but the Detroit Mission Stars have a really good kid with a green helmet and I stopped him lots of times. The third game was against the Farm Tough Mission Border Cats from Wisconsin. We played really good in that game and beat them 8-0. I am a defenseman so I don't get many shots but in that game, I shot a few long shots on net hoping for a goal or a rebound but none went in for me. That was the end of the Saturday games for us.

Sunday, in the fourth game we played the championship game against the Detroit Mission Stars. This one was a lot closer than our first game and we won 4-3. Our goalie, Nick was really good probably because he was warmed up as he had come from an ice hockey game. It was crazy near the end because it was 4-3 and they wanted to pull their goalie and get an extra attacker but we kept putting the puck in their zone and they never could pull the goalie. We saw the kid with the green helmet on the bench getting ready to come on but he could never get on because their goalie couldn't get off. Then time ran out and we won the championship. After we went to the basketball court because we were playing at Joe Dumars Fieldhouse and Joe Dumars was a famous basketball player. That is where we got our trophies and are medals. The Detroit Mission Stars got their runner-up trophy and medals first and then we got ours and Ryan got the MVP award. I knew I was not going to be the MVP because I am a stay-at-home defenseman who mostly plays in the defensive zone but that is ok. Then we got our pictures taken and they got put on the State Wars website.

I have played tournaments before with other teams but this was the first with Alkali Arsenal and it was really fun. We have another tournament at the same rink at the end of April and I bet that will be fun too. I will play in any tournament for any team if I am asked.
